:: Ok, but it would be nice if there was The mod_perl site.

That's very true.  I hadn't considered that.  But the beauty of
hypertext makes it a non-issue I think...

:: Is that Silly?

That's not silly at all.  I think it would be a credit to us not to
claim that mod_perl is the perfect solution for all your needs.  Perhaps
one of us could write a CGI that poses questions and recommends a
technology based on the users answers?

:: Ok, point to Take23's into.  But I think someone going to

Or we simply lead them to one of the excellent framework packages like
Mason, OpenInteract, etc - all of which are highlighted on the new site.

:: I'm have to pack for skiing now.

I'm not jealous, not at all...  :-P
